“…Mothers’ consent to videotape was obtained prior to enrollment. As is commonly done in reports of newly piloted clinical interventions, a subset of sessions was used to develop clinical vignettes illustrating the therapeutic approach (see Barrows, 1999; Marvin, Cooper, Hoffman, & Powell, 2002; Reynolds, 2003; von Klitzing, 2003). Nine sessions covering a wide range of attachment themes (e.g., recognizing children's emotional cues, identifying distortions in maternal representations, managing separations and reunions) at each stage of treatment (e.g., early sessions focusing on therapeutic alliance, later sessions focusing on affect recognition and developmental guidance) were also transcribed.…”

Maternal substance abuse is the most common factor involved when children come to the attention of the child welfare system. Although there is a clear need for clinical trials to evaluate parenting interventions for drug-dependent women, few studies to date have systematically examined the efficacy of interventions for this population. We first review six published reports of outpatient interventions that aimed to enhance the caregiving skills of substance-abusing mothers caring for children between birth and 5 years of age. After discussing implications of these preliminary studies, we then describe an attachment-based intervention that addresses these implications and has demonstrated preliminary feasibility in a pilot trial.

“…Subsequent commentators have elaborated both his list of five ports of entry and the primacy of parental representations. D. Stern () centralized the mother as parent in his thesis, which was criticized by Barrows (). In his own arguments and discussion, Barrows (, ) highlighted the father as a critical port of entry and stressed the parental couple as the preferred port of entry in cases where marital strife shapes or interferes with the parent–infant relationship.…”

Flexing the Frame: Contemplating the Use of Multiple Ports of Entry in Parent-Infant Psychotherapy

Multirelational interventions are well described in the psychoanalytic parent-infant literature. Daniel Stern (1995) originally suggested and described five "ports of entry" that may be employed to access the multiperson parent-infant clinical system. Other authors have elaborated and extended Stern's original list of ports of entry. The impact of using multiple ports of entry on the psychoanalytic frame, however, is largely neglected in the parent-infant psychotherapy literature. Danielle Quinodoz's (1992) four facets of the psychoanalytic setting are used to structure a discussion of how the multiplicities associated with parent-infant psychotherapy may impact the frame. The article argues strongly for a necessary flexing of the psychoanalytic frame to establish therapeutic alliances. A fifth facet, that of psychoanalytic mindfulness, is offered as a counterbalance to the risks associated with excessive flexing of the frame, particularly in relation to Quinodoz's fourth facet of "refraining from 'doing.'" This article relies on case material to illustrate the issues under discussion. Further engagement and debate are invited.

“…Some have begun to bridge the gap between attachment theory and family systems theory (Byng-Hall, 2002;Crittenden & Dallos, 2009;Mikulincer, Florian, Cowan, & Cowan, 2002). There have been some case reports of assessment and consultation with very young families (Fivaz-Depeursinge, Corboz-Warnery, & Keren 2004;Harrison, 2006) as well as case reports in which the whole family was included in some or all of the treatment (Barrows, 1999;Crittenden & Dallos, 2009;Pozzi, 1999;Savege Scharff, 2004). Thus, the aim of this article is to outline a clinical treatment model for working with the families of infants and preschoolers (Philipp, 2010).…”

Reflective family play: A model for whole family intervention in the infant and preschool clinical population

This article proposes a new treatment model, Reflective Family Play, for clinical intervention in two-parent families of children aged 0 to 5 years. It is play-based and grounded in the evidence-based treatment approach of Watch Wait and Wonder (WWW) as well as the assessment tool known as the Lausanne Family Play paradigm (LFP). WWW is a dyadic treatment for caregivers and their infants or preschoolers that has been shown to shift attachment in the very young (N.J. Cohen, E. Muir, & M. Lojkasek, 1999; N.J. Cohen, M. Lojkasek, E. Muir, R. Muir & C.J. Parker, 2002). The LFP is a more recent adaptation of the Lausanne Trilogue Play paradigm (LTP; E. Fivaz-Depeursinge & A. Corboz-Warnery, 1999). Together, the LTP/LFP have now been used for over 2 decades as reliable measures of the family alliance and interactions in two-parent households. By combining concepts from WWW and the LTP/LFP, a novel approach is presented for treatment in two-caregiver households. Clinical excerpts are used to illustrate.
